Background information

The In situ and On-farm Conservation Network was established during Phase V of ECPGR, but became operational in May 2000 with a joint meeting, held in Isola Polvese, Italy, of two Task Forces for "Wild Species Conservation in Genetic Reserves" and for "On-farm Conservation and Management". The main objectives of the Task Forces are to bring together and enhance collaboration between the different European partners involved; identify priorities; and enhance joint fund raising efforts for in situ and on-farm conservation in Europe.
